Just got an HK with 3 mags of M993

2 60 and 1 30

[frozen sundial]

u can pop ur propital as sooon as ur losing hp from dehydration

[crisp nest]

dehydration isnt that bad

but for the quest use prop

bring a water for after u are done

then extract

[dark dagger]

You take damage when you’re dehydrated, it can kill you, but it takes time, energy zeroing out is worse ya just die @wary valley

[crisp nest]

^^

energy 0 = you faint eventually

[lapis pewter]

How long does parlor insurance returns stay in limbo?

[vivid ember]

prapor

and its 24-36 hours if im correct

[neon sonnet]

helping new players dm me

[lapis pewter]

Lol thanks, prapor. Got too much coming back and not enough stash space

[crisp nest]

36hr

***72

24-36 is his return speed

he holds it for 3 days

[vivid ember]

oh

yeah he holds it for 3 days

[wary valley]

this good?

how do you even do this one?

do i dehydrate myself take a propital and go hunt some scavs

[crisp nest]

nope

u can not be on painkiller

i dehydrated or u can have broke arm

[wary valley]

keep this?

[crisp nest]

i killed scavs at woods village

[wary valley]

how can i break my arm

[crisp nest]

u cantn

[crisp nest]

id strip the parts and flea them

then keep the bp ammo

[wary valley]

how can someone else break my arm?

[crisp nest]

and then vendor the chassis

[crisp nest]

keep hitting it

until it fractures'

or u can just black it

[haughty tulip]

Not going against what erv1s said but op sks OP

OP SKS is better than SR-25 with thermal

If any of you think otherwise I have a free Sr-25 with thermal to prove you wrong

[lapis pewter]

Hey man, we’re new and gullible. Taking advantage lol

[haughty tulip]

[wary valley]

i got a new takedown backpack po

g

[haughty tulip]

nice

which one is that

[wary valley]

can anyone come with me woods to break my arms

[haughty tulip]

Why I am being honest

[haughty tulip]

That's some strange mafia shit question right there

Oh god

The noodle

[lapis pewter]

Why you wanna break your arms homie? Why not legs

[wary valley]

i love the noodle

[haughty tulip]

I mean

[wary valley]

cause if i break my legs i can't run

[haughty tulip]

You can take weapons

How can I break your legs tho

[lapis pewter]

Cant use pain killers

?

[wary valley]

break my arms by hitting em

and apparently not

[haughty tulip]

Is the RR in one hit enough to give you a broken arm

?

[wary valley]

no clue

maybe?

[haughty tulip]

Anyone has any clue the most effective way to break someone's arm

In game

For tasks purposes

You are doing headshot pmc while having fracture?

[wary valley]

yes we are not using this for mafia related reasons

no i gotta do the kill scavs while in pain quest

[lapis pewter]

Not looking forward to that quest, I got it too but hoping it happens naturally

[royal belfry]

whats the tiering on .45 ammo?

[haughty tulip]

.45 AP or nothing

Unless it's .45 RIP

And you plan to stomach/leg

[crisp nest]

u keep hitting them with low damage

and they med until it fracture

[haughty tulip]

Or die trying

Oh

You meant the broken arm thing

I see

[crisp nest]

or u can just black it

[wary valley]

time to use lfg

[crisp nest]

blacking it is faster

[hollow minnow]

Grab their arm and knee their elbow as hard as you physically can, it should snap with enough force

[hardy marsh]

yo i still got to get you that rr

[dawn geyser]

If you're doing it for the quest, best way I've found is to break your leg instead since you're going for headshots

Jump off a ledge that isn't high enough to black

[haughty tulip]

Not me who's trying

But good info if someone asks again

[dawn geyser]

[hardy marsh]

what i did is i waited till i got a fractured arm to do the quest

[wary valley]

can u pls break my arm too papi

[dawn geyser]

Magnum buckshot + MP153 8 rounders

[hardy marsh]

i can try but it is hard

[haughty tulip]

I did the same

[wary valley]

understandable

[hardy marsh]

lemme get you that rr and ill dm you

[haughty tulip]

There's rounds that cause fracture

Find one that has the bigger chance

Then just shoot/heal until fracture

But I agree with @dawn geyser

If you are trying to get headshots broken leg is way better

At long range it's gonna be annoying to aim

[dawn geyser]

[wary valley]

i guess i can break my legs if its too hard

but the thing is

[haughty tulip]

Getting the kills isn't hard

[wary valley]

i need the pain effect

[haughty tulip]

Well look at me and what I've just said

I kill one hex/airframe nerd with BT ammo and his friend and I feel myself chad now

[normal plover]

just got eod 🙂

[dawn geyser]

Congratulations!

[wary valley]

ive felt like a chad ever since i killed this hatchet runner

[haughty tulip]

What I meant was, if it's cqc you can do it to your arms

But long range don't

You don't need to ADS cqc

Hipfire is your best option

[wary valley]

ima long range it and hunt sthurman

so i guess i break my legs

[haughty tulip]

Unless you catch him while holding a nice angle

One leg

[unreal horizon]

whats wrong with you? Dont kill them, break their legs

[haughty tulip]

And painkillers with water and food

[unreal horizon]

[haughty tulip]

Smh

[wary valley]

i had magnum buck

[crisp nest]

shturman doesnt count on scav kills im pretty sure

[haughty tulip]

Just hold an odd angle

[unreal horizon]

acceptable

[wary valley]

really?

[haughty tulip]

Chads don't know what to do when you hold a strange angle

Scav boss?

[crisp nest]

yeah

[wary valley]

i thought it did

[haughty tulip]

I mean

It has the word "Scav"

It's just the boss

[dark dagger]

That was an interesting Stash run

[small cairn]

Raider= big scav

[haughty tulip]

Don't raider count as scavs

[small cairn]

scav boss= bigger scav???

https://tenor.com/view/true-agreed-jennifer-aniston-thinking-hmmm-gif-14692854

[haughty tulip]

Lvl 100 boss

[hollow minnow]

Silly

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/loser-mafia-queen-mad-angry-crook-gif-14984913

[hardy marsh]

8 am

[wary valley]

should probably not run my woods kit

[hollow minnow]

Early morning runs are fuckin weird

[crisp nest]

why tf was there like 20 scavs on factory

[haughty tulip]

Night times are always weird

[crisp nest]

rip this nice scav run

[wary valley]

what happened

[haughty tulip]

That's nice?

Isn;t that maybe 100k

[crisp nest]

for 3 minutes yeah

[haughty tulip]

Are you practicing pvp?

[hollow minnow]

Ervis goblin confirmed

[haughty tulip]

[haughty tulip]

[crisp nest]

i just want pk06

[hollow minnow]

[crisp nest]

i need the moneyy

[small cairn]

🫂

[haughty tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/goblin-dancing-dance-grooves-moves-gif-16150372

[hollow minnow]

Shame the little loot goblin

[crisp nest]

i spent my last bit of money yesterday on labs and it was the 1st time i met a cheater

[haughty tulip]

Wild recording or ervis

Dancing on the extract of factory

[crisp nest]

i dont got those sick dance moves

[haughty tulip]

After getting 20 scav kills

[small cairn]

noooo, get more money so I can waste it with you 👉 👈

[haughty tulip]

Just do reserve runs man

Big bucks or go home

[hollow minnow]

Intel folders 4 days

[haughty tulip]

Nothing is better than 1m roubles per scav

[crisp nest]

i have 3 slicks and 4 hexs left but i cant afford guns anymore

[haughty tulip]

IF

You survive

[small cairn]

Man I miss the 2m AESA's

[crisp nest]

i dont scav reserve anymore after getting ratted on

[haughty tulip]

Same

What

As a scav

[crisp nest]

i had 85kg on me then got exfil camped by another scav

[haughty tulip]

??

That's just really bad luck

[small cairn]

Imagine having 85 kg of loot

[crisp nest]

he was camping in the hut next to heating pipe

[haughty tulip]

Oh

He wasn't ratting then

He was just trying to kill people for loot

[crisp nest]

**exfil camping

[haughty tulip]

He just happens to see yuo

[small cairn]

Isn't that what rats do?

[haughty tulip]

Isn't that what we are all trying to do?

[small cairn]

Well no

[haughty tulip]

[crisp nest]

and another time i killed gluhar and some guy chased me for 10 minutes straight until he killed me lol

[haughty tulip]

Fight him then

[small cairn]

I mainly kill people to take their money away from them, but I don't need to get the money myself

[haughty tulip]

IF you can't run you fight

[small cairn]

That's why I pretty much only play labs with ks-23 and 6b3

[hardy marsh]

man waiting for players takes forever

[small cairn]

they won't get shit from me, but they risk losing everything xd

[haughty tulip]

I play reserve ks23 and push vector chad

[crisp nest]

i did

[hollow minnow]

Selling full junkbox

[haughty tulip]

Fight him better then

[crisp nest]

his press armor somehow absorbed bt rounds

[hardy marsh]

what happened?

[crisp nest]

or his helmet ricocheted it

[hollow minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/when-the-money-vince-mcmahon-big-chungus-wwe-gif-16018373

[haughty tulip]

Well idk what you expect from bt

[crisp nest]

he had scav gear

i had gluhars gun

i expected it to have bs

then i checked mag

bt

[haughty tulip]

Imagine fighting gluhart and him not having ash12

[wary valley]

?

[crisp nest]

i have higher labs SR than any other map except night reserve

[wary valley]

im at our spawn point

[crisp nest]

now that i know the map a bit

[haughty tulip]

I have higher SR on night reserve than customs day time

[crisp nest]

night reserve is so easy

[small cairn]

My SR is going straight to 0 soon

[haughty tulip]

Right

I wish

[crisp nest]

except meeting gluhar in bunker

[haughty tulip]

It's been a war zone

[cosmic tinsel]

you and me both

[crisp nest]

ive met two people so far in the last 20 runs

[haughty tulip]

That's your serve

[crisp nest]

one dude tried sbih-ing me

[hardy marsh]

wtf? weird where you wanna meet?

[haughty tulip]

I had an 8 pmc party at marked room

[small cairn]

Rat attack go brrr

[crisp nest]

and the other guy camping in hermetic bunker

[wary valley]

mili cp?

[crisp nest]

im on auto i should get pvp

[hardy marsh]

sounds good

[hardy marsh]

lemme run back

[haughty tulip]

Wait aren't they all camping

[crisp nest]

maybe he was being a crab

he heard a raider yell at me

then proned in a corner of the darkest cage

[hardy marsh]

im here

[haughty tulip]

I always fight raiders from bunker

[wary valley]

u on scav checkpoint?

[haughty tulip]

You'll always find player scavs on the truck or in there

[hardy marsh]

yeah in tower

i see you

[crisp nest]

my reserve scav runs always net at least a mil then i die to some other scav

[wary valley]

it has been done

[crisp nest]

and 1 time the raider blacked my leg

and i looted all 7

0 painkillers

i went mia

lol

[haughty tulip]

sh

don't die

ez

[hollow minnow]

Just

Live

[haughty tulip]

Right?

[hollow minnow]

[haughty tulip]

100% SR like everyone else

pfft

Can't you?

[small cairn]

I got 200% SR, 100% from PMC and 100 from scav 🧠

[haughty tulip]

Damn

Chad of chad's

[small cairn]

Yeah, surprising how little you die when you float in the air and spinbot

[crisp nest]

😦 the raid where i died to man sitting in a hut

i had 2-3mil of gear

[haughty tulip]

Keep trying

Effort pays

I can tell you that with my 100 deaths 40 survived

[crisp nest]

the sad thing is i can only do well on labs

[haughty tulip]

I'm Jk on the amount

[red monolith]

helping new guys wiht loot money and taks pm me if you want to play

[signal rapids]

helping new guys with fucking up chads if anyone wants

[crisp nest]

basically i do labs but then its a fine balance between not going broke

so if i meet a cheater i go broke

not like i can sell the hexes

[haughty tulip]

Don't fuck chad

[crisp nest]

aint vendoring them

[haughty tulip]

That's gay

[crisp nest]

what if the chad is female

👀

[haughty tulip]

Then it ain;t a chad

[crisp nest]

chadette

[haughty tulip]

Yes

[crisp nest]

what if you're female

then it aint gay

[ionic depot]

fuckin chads is arguably chad

therefore cancelling the gay

[strong barn]

so if I rat, leg meta with ash12 and kill a chad is it like pokenon where I evolve into a chadling?

[red monolith]

[hushed cradle]

[small cairn]

Kappa gang, to lazy to find ways to enjoy the game myself

[hollow minnow]

For some reason ive held off chemical for a long time

Literally just now doing it

[unreal horizon]

camping of le exit

make people mad while getting rich

[haughty tulip]

lol

Win/Win

[small cairn]

Crab people, die and lose money

So I can give myself a reason to quit playing

[modern zephyr]

hey any fix for the iron sights on the fn they seem to be like flickering

[hollow minnow]

Sumbody took the glow sight

Cant have shit in tarkov

[modern zephyr]

haha nah they are there but their like flickering and its blacked out like that when i ads

[hollow minnow]

Yeah its a bug

Idk how to fix it

[small cairn]

U can only restart game

Maybe even pc

[modern zephyr]

ahhh ill try a dif fn

[small cairn]

Doesnt work

[modern zephyr]

sights could be cursed

[small cairn]

Switched 5-7 ingame with friend and his worked fine both times

With his and mine

Neither worked for me

[hollow minnow]

Somebody scraped out the flourescent paint to eat

[modern zephyr]

haha my solution

[candid steeple]

What's the best ammo type for ak-74U?

[rough scarab]

Bs

[haughty tulip]

BS

[hardy marsh]

igolnic

[haughty tulip]

BS wins

2 - 1

[unreal horizon]

BS all day

[haughty tulip]

[candid steeple]

Lool thanks

[rough scarab]

Yea igolnik isn’t really it

[haughty tulip]

Agreed

[hardy marsh]

they are basically the same 😦

[rough scarab]

Nah

Igolnik has pretty low flesh damage

[haughty tulip]

Yep

[rough scarab]

Killing scavs feels like a nightmare with it lol

[hardy marsh]

but amazing pen

[rough scarab]

Pen won’t guarantee kills it’ll just zero their armor

Plus bs has good pen and flesh

[crisp nest]

igolnik is better on labs

[rough scarab]

Igolnik is kinda cheaper too

[unreal horizon]

they kill players in the same number of shots, the factor at play is scavs

and head hp on raiders

[echo tiger]

ANYONE LOOKING TO PLAY?

[haughty tulip]

#pvp-lfg

[hollow minnow]

We did it

Lvl 4p

anyone wanna play ? down bad on money

[rough scarab]

What rig do you guys run

[hardy marsh]

mk3 or blackrock

[crisp nest]

i run blackrock or mk3 or umka

or azimut

[harsh tree]

Is this a begiiners LFG or do people just use it like that?

[hollow minnow]

basically an lfg

[signal rapids]

any low levels need help learning reserve?

[dry belfry]

This is most definitely not an LFG lol

There are channels for that, as well as Sherpa hub

[royal belfry]

you can trade kill in this game?

[haughty tulip]

ye

[agile oracle]

if your bullets are in the air yes

happened to 1 of my buddies

[haughty tulip]

you can shoot after death

Not you but desync does it for you

[agile oracle]

yo really??

oh

I thought it was like
when your guy is collapsing you can pull the trigger

[haughty tulip]

No

In your screen you shoot 20 bullet

In his screen those 20 bullets still go trough

But for him you died after bullet 15

But your game registered 20

I can be wrong as I am not game dev

So I said the truth until proven wrong

[royal belfry]

yeah its a typical thing in games but i just never thought about it for tarkov

[haughty tulip]

Wdym tarkov has the biggest desync on any game I've played

This is escape from desync

[unreal horizon]

escape to another region and abuse desync

[haughty tulip]

Yes

Do not fight desync

You'll lose

[royal belfry]

yes but without a killfeed or gameplay after death

[haughty tulip]

Join desync and use it as a tool

[royal belfry]

you cant really tell when it happens

[haughty tulip]

Desync?

[royal belfry]

and its not much more than a small victory

no trade killing

[haughty tulip]

It's hard yeah

[royal belfry]

it doesnt mean much

its just novel since i hadnt really thought about whether the game allowed it

[dry belfry]

Allowed desync?

[royal belfry]

jesus christ

its not that complicated of a concept

[unreal horizon]

yes you can

you ever die without seeing them peak?

[royal belfry]

im not

talking

about

desync

im talking about two people

killing each other at the same time

[unreal horizon]

thats easy to tell

[royal belfry]

so you see that you killed them on the kill list but youre still dead

[unreal horizon]

if kill is at same time as raid length, you traded

[dry belfry]

That happens often with my squad mate

1/15 raids probably?

[royal belfry]

ok i mean its not something that youll have happen often because of how gunfights are in this game

[crisp nest]

i get kills a minute after my raid time

buggy af

[dry belfry]

Play-style dependent, but yeah it's rare

[agile oracle]

I always wish I could tell if the guy I fought bled out after

[dry belfry]

That would be nice

Well, I guess you can right

If you memorize your PMC kill amounts

[agile oracle]

ive had close ones when you get them for over 400 damage

[dry belfry]

Leave or camp Emercom?

[agile oracle]

why camp at all?

[dry belfry]

$

[agile oracle]

you didnt bring your tent

[dry belfry]

F

[unreal horizon]

camp that shit

[agile oracle]

people dont frown on campin here?

[unreal horizon]

they do but like, I simply couldnt care less

[agile oracle]

Ive seen people discourage it

I did it once

I always check my extracts b4 going in its never happened to me

[unreal horizon]

I do it all the time. It will not make you better at the game, but it makes money

[agile oracle]

and I killed a scav in extract

[unreal horizon]

oh no you have no idea

[dawn geyser]

Campers

[dry belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/duh-ashley-olsen-mary-kate-full-house-young-gif-4463391

[dry belfry]

[unreal horizon]

if you see someone exit camping they suck

[dry belfry]

I know that if you see me before I see you, I'm probably dead

So I make sure that you don't, whether you check extracts or not, you probably aren't going to see me

[unreal horizon]

literally the only chance you have is if i'm alt tabbed

might catch a good timing

[dry belfry]

It does

[unreal horizon]

you'll improve more dying for 5 raids then following someone around for 5 raids, imo

[dry belfry]

I think the general concensus around that whole "I'm new and keep dying" thing, at least in this channel, is that you just have to suck for a while. It's so beneficial for you if you learn from your own mistakes

[unreal horizon]

positioning and map knowledge are some of the most important things to learn, and you learn it by getting fucked

[dry belfry]

Because honestly, if you can't analyze what you're doing wrong and how to correct that, it's not the game for you

Unless you enjoy being carried

[signal rapids]

ya see theres a lot to learn yourself, but when they dont even know where tf to go for quests its good for them to get help

[unreal horizon]

learn that in offline, im a moron and I did it

[signal rapids]

lmao

[dry belfry]

Agreed, if he had said "I'm new and I need to find the pocket watch" he would've gotten a different answer though

[unreal horizon]

pull up a map, and run around

[signal rapids]

dude asked for help and dipped lol

[dry belfry]

Welcome to the channel

[unreal horizon]

people when the hard game is hard

[signal rapids]

just made a mil off of moonshine feeling good

off topic

[bold kernel]

can anyone guide me through customs?

[lost tiger]

^^

[fleet fern]

Just loaded into another raid with a pistol

Wish me luck!

[signal rapids]

yeah i can help some people out if they need it

[fleet fern]

Sure, I’m a beginner too I could help you

[signal rapids]

but im not here to carry just here to teach

[fleet fern]

Customs ain’t that hard to understand after a few raids

[dry belfry]

Customs very stereotypical FPS map

[signal rapids]

ture

true

[fleet fern]

ye

[unreal horizon]

customs big road, IC big rectangle

[signal rapids]

few choke points few good areas for pvp

[fleet fern]

Just use the cooling towers as a point of reference

[signal rapids]

its a lot of low levels its nice

[fleet fern]

Since you can see the cooling towers from anywhere in the map

[bold kernel]

im in customs 9 vc if u wanna join

[dry belfry]

You ever try wearing your headphones over your hood

It's 10/10

[royal belfry]

does your choice in the chemical questline matter beyond the rep

[dry belfry]

No

[shut sequoia]

Hey Im looking for someone to show me around shoreline

or any map

[fleet fern]

I fucking got killed by a guy named Sussy fleshlight?

[dry belfry]

lmfao

[agile oracle]

so I thought I could double my money flipping medcases

but after I bought all the parts I realized I couldnt sell the medcase I traded for

[unreal horizon]

Oh no

[agile oracle]

so I have a medcase now

[unreal horizon]

This reminds me of my story

[agile oracle]

it cleared so much space tho, I like it

[unreal horizon]

I bought 15 Tetris when I saw they were 700k and BTC was 850k. They needed BTC literal hours later

Nerfed*

[wary valley]

can anyone help me sort out useless shit

on stash

[agile oracle]

sure

[wary valley]

should i just send it?

[agile oracle]

yea, you wouldnt be the 1st

[unreal horizon]

Buy magbox and med case, sell all dorms keys except marked

[wary valley]

i got mag box

its just full af

[agile oracle]

maybe sell some mags then

how many you bring on any given raid?

[unreal horizon]

Sell cheap mags, they're easy to replace

Only keep AR 60s, mp7 40s, and Val 30s

[wary valley]

ive been running mosin on woods

but otherwise 3 or 4

[agile oracle]

yea so only have 3 or 4 for each gun

a money case might be good for you, I found mine in raid tho so it up to you if you wanna buy it

I think your 2 wallets would hold all your money

[dry belfry]

Man, they fuckin rob you of stash size in normal edition

[agile oracle]

just stuff it

[unreal horizon]

Are you using a gun in the next 3 raids? If not sell the mags

[wary valley]

welp

got my insurance dealt with

thnk u

[dawn geyser]

@dry belfry make this guy head mod

[royal belfry]

isnt customs dorms supposed to get cleared out basically immediately

why are there 3 pmc coming in 15 minutes late

[hot tree]

They waited 15 minutes

Or more like played slowly so they can get inside dorms later

[royal belfry]

im sad

i took out 2 but then the 3rd got me

they were bears so they didnt even progress my skier quest sadge

[celest jay]

I played one game and now whenever i'm loading into a match my game instantly crashes

it has happened 11 times now

what the fuck

[gentle lintel]

What are your computer specs?

[celest jay]

it's an old laptop but I know I can run the game because I did on my first ever game and it ran fine that being said I think I have like an i-7 and a gtx 1050 ti. It's a 4 year old laptop but it still runs nearly every game I throw at it

[hasty edge]

cheapest helmet to run with nvgs?

[gentle lintel]

Try going through this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aesLY4Z_R8&t=492s

You don't have to do the custom resolution if you don't want to

[wary valley]

isn't there a quest to kill 3 scavs and live with 0 meds on woods?

[gentle lintel]

I'm not sure if it's three but yes there is

[wary valley]

i mean i guess something happened cause it vanished for me or i completed it

i had to restart the mission

[next meteor]

anyone tryna run some customs?

[celest jay]

nope. didn't work. Is there anyway to reinstall the game from the launcher?

I think maybe it's something I did because it worked the first game I got into but hasn't worked since then?

wait

[tired ledge]

Anyone wanna help with some factory tasks?

[hot tree]

Change setting to windowed fullscreen

If you havent

Helps for less crashes if you tab out and in

[glad atlas]

#pvp-lfg

[celest jay]

I'll get back to you on trying that

[celest jay]

Nope game still crashed

[wild raven]

hello im a new player and need assistance

how counter

https://gyazo.com/ef883bd81e53f3710255990cff1047ef

had me scared watching the sky lmao, pretty sure he floated up to 3rd floor window and snuck up on me to kill me

because i didnt hear the metal staircase

[royal belfry]

how do i put sight on m153?

[thorny phoenix]

i have almost all items for kappa missoin

i wont even get to it

lmao

[mellow matrix]

Mp-153

You need a rail

[vast sandal]

Hey, how do you actually extract, I just got the game today and ive already played a couple of matches but I still have no idea how to get to the extract points on the map, is there like an easy way of knowing where you are on the map or is it just by knowing a lot ab the map?

[thorny phoenix]

https://mapgenie.io/tarkov/maps/customs

interactive map

to extract, you just walk into a certain radius of the extract and it starts counting down

@vast sandal

[vast sandal]

But like, is there a way to know where i am on the map or do I need to learn the names and how places look?

[thorny phoenix]

prettymuch yes

not names, you just need to look at things that stand out and navigate using them

you probably played customs, right?

[vast sandal]

yup

only played customs, factory and I think reserve

[thorny phoenix]

customs are easy to navigate

just look at your surroundings

[vast sandal]

So customs is the best map for "new players" ?

[thorny phoenix]

you see a bridge? youre here

yes, lots of quests have place on customs early

so even if you dont want to, youll learn by doing them

[vast sandal]

alr

thanks}

[thorny phoenix]

np

look at things like railroad, regular roads, antennas, houses etc

anything that is not grass or a tree, itll make it easy to navigate

[vapid oracle]

wtf

every time I get a quest item like a case

I feel like a target is INSTANTLY placed on me

and I just die

fucking anguish

[hot tree]

Rip

They smell fear

[mellow matrix]

Lmao

Bloodthirsty chads

[thorny phoenix]

is it even worth to turn in the zabralo for ragman lmao

its around 840k on flea

[coarse mango]

any new NA players need help with quests or just wanna run some raids pm me

[carmine gust]

Damaged ones are worth even more. Under half was like 3 mill last I looked (couple weeks)

[thorny phoenix]

i dont think if ill ever do that quest

[carmine gust]

Then sell it. If you aren't already pushing tasks I would take the money.

[thorny phoenix]

wait the prapor barter is so cheap wtf

300k for zabralo

[carmine gust]

Look we all like to think the playerbase is smart..... stop ruining that

[thorny phoenix]

i mean ill just use the money from selilng FiR zabralo to buy 2others to do the quest

[carmine gust]

yup. Getting a friend to damage it and insurance fraud is super easy.

Most of us don't really use more than a couple barters and never look at the rest TBH.

[thorny phoenix]

to damage it ill go factory at night with altyn and jus tlet scavs shoot me

[surreal epoch]

i did that but a scav have 855A1 in his ADAR i get tilted so

[thorny phoenix]

i just turned my back to shotgun scav and let him shoot me a few times and it worked

a1 damn, unlucky

[mental elk]

do you guys know how to stop losing money as a level 17?

[hollow minnow]

Run ratty maps interchange/reserve

Dont try and be a chad, just rat around

Soon enough you'll be makong money

Stash runs on interchange can be pretty easy money

What da taiko gon say

[indigo nest]

Im struggling with Friend from the West - pt 1. It's really late wipe to be starting, I get it. Im having a hard time finding PMCs that aren't kitted and spitting ₽2500 bullets at high rpm. I've killed a pistoling (a bear, rip) on factory and seen another, but more often it's chads. To make it harder, I prefer not to exercise extreme patience and sit in a bush for half a round. Any tips?

[hollow minnow]

For friend of the west I ran customs and factoru

A lot of new players on customs

Most arent that geared

[indigo nest]

I run a lot of customs, Im down. factory stresses me out, but im okay with it. Im sure it's confirmation bias or just low sample #s, but Im only seeing geared players. The newbies are all quiet mice like me 😂

the new area of customs seems to still draw a lot of traffic. the last two times I went poking around for players in dorms I ran into Lord Tachanka

[hollow minnow]

I killed like 4 under lvl 10 players on customs yesterdau

Just gotta find em

[indigo nest]

filthy little hobbitses

what were they doing / was there any pattern of location or behavior where you found them?

[pure marsh]

I'll also say, as a higher level player, that 95% of the "chads" aren't as good as you would think. You have a pretty solid chance of killing anyone tbh

[thorny phoenix]

10 bodies at dorms

i got 5 dogtags

[indigo nest]

I have trash aim, so you don't have to be good. But I am cheap and have a light case of gear fear, so Im outgunned vs anyone willing to shell out

[thorny phoenix]

and i just died typing this message lmao

[pure marsh]

Also lots of new people/conservative players go for stashes and stay away from the normal hotspots (Dorms, fort, skeleton, old gas, etc.)

[thorny phoenix]

there was so much but the biggest backpack was the day backpack and there was no way of getting this entire loot out LMAO

im so greedy i hate myself

[pure marsh]

What weapons/ammo are you usually running? Also what's your playstyle

[pure mist]

last time i saw this many was also at dorms, 3 pmc 2 guards and reshala, 3 pmc started fighting, 2 were dead, then the last one got killed by one of the guards

[thorny phoenix]

5 pmcs i think, 2 scavs, 3 guards

zeroed out hgrid, 300 AP SX ammo

i also met a hatchling that was probably with one of the chads

lvl 11

[pure mist]

ap sx are pretty cheap rn

300 still a lot

[thorny phoenix]

entire A+B rig was filled with just mp mags

i wish there was like at least attack 2 backpack

[pure mist]

don't one of the chads have bigger backpack?

[thorny phoenix]

nop

the biggest one was hotdog

and daypack

[pure mist]

i always bring a blackjack

[pulsar compass]

what is a good ak 104 build?

[indigo nest]

Im more or less in savings/build mode, so I'll do anything from upcycle from a scav loadout to buy some 4 armor and build a moderate gun.

I like shottys but I'm no surgeon. Occassionally run SMGs, where I have a better time with high rpm spray + pray than precision aiming, but still need a little luck to snag a pmc in the face.

I have a love for DMRs and semi auto, fairly accurate guns. I like throwing a sight on a found AK and calling it good.

I have a tendency to aim center mass, so I tend to like the midtier bullets with adequate pen without dropping 20k per mag.

I run stashes and load up for loot runs, more often than not on scav. Fast and light for quest objectives or a little heavier for scav hunting.

[unreal horizon]

honestly for center mass, cheap mags just aren't good enough

[thorny phoenix]

funnily enough, i was sneaking up on altyn guy and killed him, cause the highest hp armor in the entire fight was 30 hp kirasa

he didint hear me cause of the altyn, and i didint hear a scav when i was about to leave, because of the altyn too

[pure marsh]

There's a YouTuber named "Krashed" that uses non meta weapons and does really well. He uses a Kedr with sp7 and claps with it. I use class 4 armor as well since most ammo used will pen my slicks anyways. You can run QuakeMaker for legs for 9x19

7.62x39 you can run PS and head tap people outside of altyns. The platforms are really cheap to mod out and they work really well

If you have Prapor level 3 check out the KS23

[warped kraken]

what attachments do i need to take from killing pmcs, if i dont have space for weapon??

[indigo nest]

I have a love for a silenced and scoped op-sks (not the most cost effective, I know) and ill splurge for bp with it. but I had moderate success with 762x39 PS for a while on my previous stint playing 2-3 wipes back. I tend to run PS when I go in with an AK and 4 mags

[warped kraken]

i see this dude, ignoring this modded m4, and just taking the parts

[strong barn]

magnum buckshot is excellent. Try a mp133 or 153 with a choke and magnum buckshot is effective at 50-100m still lmao. close range its spread is tight af

[unreal horizon]

shift/b25, sdn-6, pk06 mostly

[indigo nest]

@warped kraken whatever's the best money/slots - it takes a while to develop that soft skill as a player

[unreal horizon]

if you have empty slots, just strip as much as you can

[warped kraken]

pk-06, is that the 45 angle foregrip?

[remote kettle]

pk-06 is a compact collimator sight

basically tiny red dot

[unreal horizon]

b25 is 45 angle, pk06 is the "meta" sight which ironically is dogshit irl

[pure marsh]

It's because player weapons aren't Found in Raid so you just take what is most useful to you to save yourself money

[warped kraken]

aaaaa that one

that red scope

[pure marsh]

M4 with a jailbreak? I'll take the whole thing. Anything else, suppressors, sights, grips, mags/ammo

[indigo nest]

I've been running this the most often lately. It's too fun to one shot stuff. I just happen to keep running into really high rpm smgs who are aware of me and lose lately. At least I've got ~4 153s that keep coming back on insurance

[unreal horizon]

if you have a choke, you'll 2 shot legs with 8.5mm from miles away

[indigo nest]

checking krashed out, thanks for the tip

[pure marsh]

You're welcome homie. It also takes practice to be consistent with any weapon and to know when to be bold or just leave

[indigo nest]

fair. I'm better at the discretion part... my twitch skills have been bad for decades 😅

[pure marsh]

That's fine. You'll find what works for you. There's lots of people that have a "favorite" kit. One of the Sherpas just runs an SKS most of the time

[strong barn]

thats probly the best thing about it-- getting it back in insurance
if you have jaeger high enough to sell magnum buckshot its like 10k for 200 rounds lol

[bold kernel]

i just run budget AK-105 builds With BT

[unreal horizon]

if you find you hit a lot of shots, upgrade to igolnik/BS

it shreds

[indigo nest]

just been buying it off the market - it fluctuates wildly. normally 200-300, 500/ right now, and was nearly 2000/round the other night when I was wanting to run it. Noped right out and grabbed a bigger gun in my stash.

[pure mist]

it's jaeger 2

[bold kernel]

this ak build slaps

[pure mist]

why the drum?

[unreal horizon]

just use rpk, better stats for cheaper modding

[thorny phoenix]

is the tactec 5.11 a good armored rig?

[pure mist]

yes

[unreal horizon]

yeah

[pure mist]

very good

repairs extremely well since it's ultrahighweight polyethylene

[bold kernel]

got a free m4 out of the fight lol

[pure marsh]

The market is supply/demand. On weekends prices raise a bit because on certain things from players buying it out. Towards the end of weeknights supply drops heavy since no one is playing. You can go on Tarkov market and see the prices change daily

Just for future knowledge 🤷

[indigo nest]

handy link, ill bookmark it, thanks. Im familiar with the economy, it's just I'm early enough that im still price sensitive and will absolutely change plans based on those price swings

[hollow minnow]

[pure mist]

get to jaeger 2 and buy it cheap?

[thorny phoenix]

poor jaeger, almost every quest takes rep off him

[hollow minnow]

Cuz no one likes him

[thorny phoenix]

why?

[indigo nest]

ive eaten my mayo! just need to kill scavs w/o armor, w/ pain, etc!

[thorny phoenix]

his quests are super annoying

[pure marsh]

He's an asshole

[hollow minnow]

Because his quest are fucking annoying and specific

[thorny phoenix]

ive been running shoreline for like 5 raids in a row, havent seen sanitar once in any of his spawns

[pure mist]

most of his early quests are def real ez

[indigo nest]

he's the survivalist gun nut that lives in the woods. the city types arent fans >_<

[hollow minnow]

He sneaky wit it

[pure marsh]

"kill three PMCs while eating beef stew"

[hollow minnow]

Wouldnt mechanic be more of a gun nut

Jaegers just likes huntijg

[indigo nest]

Im a standard edition pleb, Ive just been rushing to punisher for epsilon. I just hate that I haven't completed friend from the west before I was ready to head to shoreline

[hollow minnow]

alot

antigua tryna get dat thermal

[thorny phoenix]

its super easy

i dobule tap him with almos tany ammo and i get a free thermal

and i get him to lvl 4 this way

[hollow minnow]

He can take a headshot

Idk from any gun

But he can take a headshot

For some reason

Same with glukhar and their titanium skulls

[thorny phoenix]

i know, thats why i said double tap

his head is only 70

[hollow minnow]

I usually just run at him

[thorny phoenix]

nvm 70

[hollow minnow]

Before he has a chance to shoot

I remember once all of them were in a singular room in shoreline

And we just naded them

[pure marsh]

Being aggressive with bosses and guards is wayyyyy better than being passive. They have the best aim on the planet

[hollow minnow]

Any boss folds when you play aggressive

Except for killa

Killa just

Kinda takes it until he falls over

[pure marsh]

He be doing his thing

[hollow minnow]

Either that or he just runs away from me lmao

He scared the shit out of me in mantis

[pure marsh]

I got sanitizer and the bois in one vector spray once. I thought it was a 5 stack lmao

[hollow minnow]

I always find him at cabins

Ive only seen him at pier once

[pure marsh]

Bottom of west wing/admin for me

[hollow minnow]

Yeah he chills there too

I never expect it to be him till I hear his sexy voice

[thorny phoenix]

how many guards does he have?

[hollow minnow]

2

Scavs will protect him too tho

[thorny phoenix]

only 2?

[hollow minnow]

Yeah

[thorny phoenix]

also i had a weird today and dunno what to think about it

[hollow minnow]

Most of the time they arent that geared either

[thorny phoenix]

i was doing quests in cottages

and i heard a scav around

[thorny phoenix]

he had lvl 4 armor, lvl 3 head armor and AK with huge scope on it

looked like a guard

but it was the only scav in this area

didint drop nades or anything

[hollow minnow]

Yeah they always have decent armor

But I almost always get fuckin hunters from them

Scavs can spawn with gzhel and fort

Its rare but they can

[candid steeple]

How do you get charisma up?

[thorny phoenix]

why do scavs on customs always shoot at the gas station without getting aggroed

[hollow minnow]

Through looting mostly

[pure marsh]

When you gain XP for attention, perception or intellect, it levels it up

[candid steeple]

Ooh alright thanks

[pure marsh]

Probably Reshala and the bois killing an AI scav if I had to guess

Or the spawn there killing sniper scav

[thorny phoenix]

i mean

[hollow minnow]

If hes talking about the schizophrenic scavs

[thorny phoenix]

literally AI scav just shooting above the door on gas station

he runs around, screams in russian, shoots a few times, stops, repeats

[hollow minnow]

Theres a random bug where they'll shoot the floor or somethong

Yeah

Ive seen them

There not just at gas

Its just a bug with scavs

Or maybe it isnt

Who knows

[pure marsh]

🤷

[hollow minnow]

I remember walking into third story kitchen

Scav looked at me

Did a 180

Shot the window

And said gg ez

[pure marsh]

Cheeki breeki

Spamming voicelines has been my favorite thing to do these days

[hollow minnow]

I got the boring scav

The only funny one is when he he talks about going to the strip club

You ever heard a scav sing gopstop

[pure marsh]

I wish I could hotkey just the screaming usec voiceline

[hollow minnow]

AHHHHH

Just stay focused guys.

Whats that over there? Hmm

[pure marsh]

Scavs? Here? No way man

[hollow minnow]

Guy said he saw bear in this area.

[pure marsh]

Nice work bitch!

[hollow minnow]

Gutted that motherfucker

Smooth like butter

[main dagger]

Looking to help new players level up and learn the game. must be in NA and have a mic, DM me.

[hollow minnow]

You ever heard a raider yell friendly fire when your a scav?

[pure marsh]

I did on reserves once

[hollow minnow]

I think they fixed it

[pure marsh]

A rat!

[hollow minnow]

We got a fucking rat here! KILL IT

[pure marsh]

Niiiccceeee

[main dagger]

rats like me keep you in stock

[pure marsh]

You'll fucking pay for that

[hollow minnow]

Nah when you get looted its shoved up ur bum

[pure marsh]

[main dagger]

i don't get looted much

not bragging, i just avoid pvp if able

[pure marsh]

Y'all don't play Tarkov like Call of Duty these days? Just me?

[main dagger]

i'm geared like a chad, i just rat around because seeing my or my friends money increase gives me a chubbi

[vivid ember]

Are there any other differences between the hex and slick besides their armour points?

[pure marsh]

Material type/repairability

[vivid ember]

alr

[rough scarab]

Don’t they pretty much add up to the same amount of actual armor points

[main dagger]

higher armor points is better. but do to meta weapons these days, either will work about equally.
